Which exchange allow bitcoin shorting?

2 borrow Bitcoin from p2p site, then sell them in exchange or localbitcoin. When the price drop, you buy back at lower price, pay back loan.

In short term bitcoin price do not fluctuate largely, how can it cover the interest paid on loan?

One of the exchanges allow shorting is bitfinex.

Well, shorting always involves borrowing, always pay interest. To justify how much how long etc is beyond me.

Loads. And it seems to be far more important to traders than whether their exchanges are actually legit. The 'proper' American exchanges aren't allowed to do it seemingly.
